In the 1970s, Stephen Hawking applied the semiclassical approach of quantum field theory in curved spacetime to such systems and found that an isolated black hole would emit a form of radiation (now called Hawking radiation in his honor).
Hawking created Stephen Hawking: Expedition New Earth, a documentary on space colonisation, as a 2017 episode of Tomorrow's World. [212] [213] In August 2015, Hawking said that not all information is lost when something enters a black hole and there might be a possibility to retrieve information from a black hole according to his theory. [214]
This chapter discusses an aspect of black holes' behavior that Stephen Hawking discovered in the 1970s. According to earlier theories, black holes can only become larger, and never smaller, because nothing which enters a black hole can come out. However, in 1974, Hawking published a new theory which argued that black holes can "leak" radiation.
Stephen Hawking may have come up with an answer to a long-running debate among scientists—the fate of information that enters a black hole. The challenge has been to reconcile the paradox ...
Stephen Hawking never stopped trying to unravel the mysteries surrounding black holes -- in fact, he was still working to solve one of them shortly before his death. Now, his last research paper ...
Stephen Hawking provided a ground-breaking solution to one of the most mysterious aspects of black holes, called the "information paradox." Black holes look like they 'absorb' matter. Every time a ...
Stephen Hawking called Wheeler the "hero of the black hole story". [3] At 21, Wheeler earned his doctorate at Johns Hopkins University under the supervision of Karl Herzfeld. He studied under Breit and Bohr on a National Research Council fellowship.
Scientists studying the earliest black holes may have found an answer to dark matter, putting Stephen Hawking’s theory on the subject back into the spotlight.
